This week for the first time for ages I took some stacked photos of todays mystery object and used CombineZP to produce the final stacked photo.
Guess What: (actual size about 10mm)

Clue: just the thing for a feathery maternity ward.

No prizes - just for fun.

Great Tit Nest box Update:
The nesting material continues to arrive, usually early morning and late in the afternoon.

Wren:
This morning I spotted the Wren going in the roosting pocket. The first time I have seen it for several days so all seems to be OK in that direction.

  4. Looks like moss to me! I bet the tit likes it in the nest box. The nest seems to be taking shape- how exciting.

  6. Hi John ~ Thanks for the gold star :) I think this one is the same nesting material as used by the wren -- moss :)
